Career

People always tell me it’s okay to be nervous for a job interview. I nod along because I don’t feel like explaining to them just how hard it is for me.

Society has a cultural bias against introverts — and unfortunately, our schools are no exception. Arranging your classroom to suit introverts can be done.

As my career progressed, each position stretched me in ways that allowed me to grow significantly, personally, and professionally.

Introverts often feel awkward promoting themselves during job interviews, and they may struggle to articulate their thoughts when put on the spot.

Scientists have noted that extroverts tend to focus on seeing and acquiring results, while introverts pay attention to the processes that deliver results.

Finding a job that fits the needs of introverts can be tough. Lots of companies will expect employees to be as outgoing and sociable as possible.

You don’t want to be in the spotlight, and having to manage many employees can be mentally exhausting. That’s why I turned to freelancing.
